win last about as long as the ordinary
one where coal is used. The arch will
last year. and the side walls two
years. The supply of coal dust
and air is automatically regu-
lated. and complete combustion is
the result No smoke escapes from the
chimney, and there is no loss OF heat
in that way. We feel confident that
at least thirty-five per cent of fuel will
be saved by using the machines.
In Philadelphia experiments have
been made with this process in the
Harrison Safety Boiler Works, and the
engineer made the statement that
where 1000 pounds of coal per day
were used under small boiler. at q
cost OF $3 per ton, 900 pounds OF dust
were used at q cost of about 81 per ton.
The machine for that boiler only costs
about $165. and he thinks there is a
saving of at least 50 per cent The
cost of repairs to the machine will not
exceed $40 per annum. One result Of
using the refuse coal will be that the
price Of ordinary coal will have to
come DOWN. r Post

How to Preserve the Hair.

A good supply of oxygen is necessary
for the healthy growth of hair, and the
head should be well aired. The hat
has made sad havoc with MANY a
caput. Endeavor to go bareheaded as
often as possible. When walking, lift
the hat from the head frequently, and,
IT the sun is not too strong, hold the
hat in your hand awhile. The blue
coat school-boys formerly of Christ
Church, London, who wear the cos
tune of Edward VI, go bareheaded
the year round. They wear no hats in
the coolest days of winter They are
remarkably healthy. and have re-
dundant crop of hair which lasts them
lifetime. If we must wear hat let
it be light in texture and we'll ventil-
ated from the top. One reason that
women keep their hair longer than
men is that their head gear allows bet
ter ventilation. Business men some
times wear their hats in their Office.
or have special hat which they put
on. This is very injurious. The
brokers OF Wall street are noted for
wearing their hats indoors as well "a
outdoors. They are notorious for
having bald heads. This may account
for it. When the head is we'll shorn
OF its locks this does not apply

PULVERIZED COAL.
A Method of Heating That Assures a Great
Economy in Fuel.

A Method of Heating That Assures q Great
Economy in Fuel.
Improved methods for obtaining
artificial heat are always subjeet OF
interest, and experiments in this direc-
ton are being made all the time to get
heat at as low a cost as possible. The
manufacture of water gas has been
very successful, and, as it can be pro-
duced at low price, without the
nuisance of ashes and smoke, it is
growing in favor and efforts are being
made to run it into houses to be used
for heating as we'll as for lighting pur-
poses.
Another method of heating, which is
rapidly making its way, if the promo
tiers of it are to be believed, is the pull
verified coal process The claims made
for the method are many, and if one-half
of them are well founded, there can be
no doubt of its success. One of the
promoters said: "In this country there
are about 20. 900. 900 tons of coal an
nually wasted, being too fine for use.
Of the total coal mined, it is estimated
that one-eighth per cent of waste is
made by blasting and handling; and
that six and one-quarter per cent is
wasted in the breaker. Many at
tempts have been made to utilize this
immense amount of wastage, and I'M
til now nothing has been successful.
Until now only very small guam
tity of this fine dust has been used.
The requisites for success are, first,
simple and efficient machinery to re-
duce the coal to dust at very small
cost; second, reduction to an impal-
pable powder; third, an automatic
supply of coal dust and air, each capa-
BILE of being regulated at will; fourth.
the reduction of the coal and the SIM
ultaneous feeding of it with air into the
fire-box by the same machine; fifth,
the intimate mixture of the fine parti-
Giles of coal dust with air, SO that each
particle shall be surrounded by air as
it enters the fre-box, thus insuring
complete combustion.
These conditions have been COM
pletely fulfilled by q new process. The
method of using the dust is as follows:
The coal, no matter what size it is. is
fed into a pulverizer, by which it is
ground to an impalpable powder. This
is done by means of the friction of the
particles, one against the other. After
the coal is ground it passes through
the pulverizer, and on coming out it is
met by a current of air from a blower,
which sends it through nozzle into
the combustion chamber underneath
the boiler. This combustion chamber
has to be specially constructed, and

In the ruins Of the day coach the bodies
OF nine persons were found. The sicken-
ing pile Of ashes and flesh lay near the
front end, although fingers and even
thigh bones were picked up near the cen-
tor Of the coach. This led many to be-
lieve that at least fifteen and perhaps
twenty persons lost their lives.
As fast as bodies were discovered they
were born to the prairie, here in the glare
of immense brush fires they were piled
upon the yellow grass and autumnal
leaves.
The wounded, who numbered seventeen,
were taken to the village hotel. Without
single exception all were injured about
the head. Before it was yet daylight men
With teams picked up the bodies and,
placing them in a rough pine box, bore
them to the village, where they were

Queer Insects That Destroy Ants for Two
Years and Then Become Flies.

Queer Insects That Destroy Ants for Two
Years and Then Become Flies.
This curious insect is about half an
inch long. 1t has two jaws that give
it a very fierce look, for they curve in
ward like pincers. To look at it one
would think it the most helpless of an
imals, and would wonder how it could
ever get enough to eat. 1t can only
walk very slowly, and that backwards.
1t looks so fierce that no small insect
will go near it unless it is well hidden
in the sand. 1t eats only the juices of
other insects. You know that insects
do not. like larger animals, have blood
in their bodies, but some thing we call
juice. That is the food of the ant-lion;
but how is it going to get it, when it
can only walk backward, and that so
slowlyp And it never touches an in
sect unless it has killed it itself.
It goes to sandy place and digs
pit like cone, smaller at the bottom
than at the top. 1t digs with one of its
fore legs, using it as shovel. 1t puts
the sand on its head, and gives it
jerk strong enough to send the sand
two or three inches from the pit If
one leg gets tired it uses the one on
the other side. Sometimes small stones
get in its way. Then the ant-lion
pushes and works with its tail until it
lifts the stone on its back, which is
made of many rings. It can move
these rings up and down, and so keep
the stone from falling off while it
climbs, still walking backward, up the
side of the pit; then it jerks it away.
When the pit is done this cunning in
sect gets down at the bottom, covers
itself all up with sand except the points
of its pincers, and waits for it's prey.
It is not long before an ant or some
other small insect comes that way.
Often they fall in. Quick the ant-lion
has it between its jaws. and has sucked
out the juice. Sometimes an ant gets
half way down the pit, sees there is
danger and starts to climb up again.
The ant-lion, which has six eyes, and
has been watching, does not try to
catch it; it could not do that,
but it shovels up some sand,
and throws it on the little ant, until
it falls dead. After it has sucked the
juice it takes the dead body, walks
backward again up the side of the pit,
Cd Jerks it so far away that no other
insesS coming by will see it, and, fear
ing danger, go away. fit has to wait
too long for its food, if but few insects
come near its den, it decides that its
den is not in good place. SO it goes
away and digs another. 49,
When the ant-lion has lived two
years it makes for itself sort of cover
ing, and buries itself in the sand for
about two months; during that time it
loses its eyes, paws and horns. Soon
others grow, with new skin. and four
wings. When the new limbs are
strong enough it tears off the covering
with its two teeth, and now it is no
longer clumsy, fierce ant-lion, but a
beautiful fly, an inch and quarter
long. BY and by it goes to a sandy
place and lays an egg, which becomes
an ant-lion, and in its turn fy.-

A LeakY Vessel Somewhere.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. u.-There
was considerable confusion in the Knights
OF Labor convention last night when IL
was found that the Journal had that after
noon printed substantially accurate &C.
count of the discussion on the Anarchists,
together with the vote taken. This, not.
withstanding the fact that the utmost
care had been taken after the Anarchist
resolution had been squelched to
suppress all news of the discussion.
This morning the press committee,
which really had nothing to do with
the disclosures, was hauled over the Goals
in the convention, and the matter which
appeared in the Journal was made the
text for a number of exceedingly vigor-
GUS speeches. The consequence is that the
press committee are as dumb as oysters
to-day, and will not give up the slightest
particulars about the mornings doings.
It is learned, however, that the discussion
as to the leak occupied most Of the morn
ing session.
